KIND OF FUNNY!!!

So, I was out running errands with my three year old daughter and we were at a stop light and I felt like I had to go to the bathroom.  So, I told myself that I would wait until we got to the grocery store.  I was like 2 minutes away from the store when the urge came on.  Of course I get stopped at this long light. Ugh!!! So, I am in the car saying I need to go Poop, I need to go come on light(like it will change faster because I have to go).  So, I turn down the road to the store and there is a Wendy's right before the grocery store.  I couldn't wait any longer so I took my daughter out of the car and she is taking her time and we run into Wendy's and of course it is a one stall bathroom and the lady is in there taking her time and I am trying to hold it.  So, we run out of Wendy's get back in the car and my daughter is laughing.  She thought this was so funny.  I floor it through the parking lot and park and run with my daughter in my arms into the grocery store.  The whole time she is cracking up.  Well, I made it(which I wouldn't have been able to do before the remicade).  My urgency is still bad.  When I have to go I have to go.  It is so pathetic that I can't hold it when I am two minutes away.  Well anyways, I must have looked so funny. lol I am running around like a chicken with her head cut off looking for a bathroom and walking with my cheeks clenched. and the whole time my daughter is cracking up.  Ahhhhh the joys of UC.

On the bright side... I'm glad this story had a happy ending.

If I had a nickle for every "mini accident" I've had I would be retired already.  I have that exact issue,  I seem to be able to hold it in as long as I'm racing to find a bathroom, which can be up to several minutes but when I get there I can't seem to get the truck backed in before I start unloading it.  I have spent many days at work going comando by the end of the day because I had a small problem.

I did laugh when I read this...of course, it's how you wrote it.

It's a relief you made it without an accident, especially with all that running and carrying your daughter.

Christine- the remicade is great for me.  I go in the morning first thing and then usually when I eat breakfast, then once after lunch.  I am usually okay until the next morning.  Every once in awhile I will go after supper depending on what I eat.  I do get joint pain(it hurts but not where I can't handle it) and heart burn from the remicade.  It has also healed my colon.  So, it is good for me except my urgency is still there.  It will come on all of a sudden and then I need a bathroom right away.  This was at about 10 in the morning(when I usually go) but I figured if anything I will have to go at the store(this is usually what happens).  Well, not this time. lol

Yeah my daughter was cracking me up.  At least they think it is funny.  If I have my older two boys with me then I will make it a race.  Lets see who can run to the bathroom the fastest. lol My older son knows when I say I need to go poop he runs. lol  It is so funny. Kids While the other two take their sweet time and my older one is yelling at them hurry up mom has to go poop.  Ah, what people must think.

LOL great story. My cats have been learned when I have to poop. I stand up and they run to the bathroom with me.

Good story, I can relate to the desperation. I've had UC for about a year now and prior to that had never heard of it. I find this forum encouraging (misery loves company?) as I find others are managing with the same issues (and worse) as I am.
